| Greenway Trail | The Greenway Trail is a bicycle/pedestrian trail which has replaced an abandoned railroad right-of-way. The Greenway begins in the northwest corner of Whittier, near the 605 Freeway, and closely parallels Whittier Boulevard. When it reaches Painter Avenue, it travels along Lambert Road to Mills Avenue, which is where the right-of-way ends. There is an active rail line traveling east from Mills to the City limits, and Whittier hopes to eventually acquire an easement along this line to take the trail to the City limits and link the Greenway to Orange County. Construction of the Greenway Trail began in 2006, and the trail was completed on January 31, 2009. The trail passes through residential, commercial, and industrial land, connecting the various areas of the community and allowing residents and visitors to hike or bike through town. For more information about the trail click here or call the Public Works at (562) 464-3510. |
